At the Bloom Hotel, the entourage has begun to pack their bags and prepare to go to Milton State.
The lawsuit here can be settled by Portlem.
When Lu Ming was drinking tea in the tea room, Portlem and Mary Han came in.
"Boss, Hansis is here to negotiate a settlement." Portlem smiled.
Lu Ming smiled: "Leave him a lawyer's fee, 100 yuan, that's about it. Otherwise, I'm afraid he won't even get the lawyer's fee."
Portlem smiled bitterly. The boss was much more ruthless than him. He talked with the village representatives and found that 500 yuan was acceptable to the villagers.
In fact, it was indeed to leave a way for Hansis. The person who originally came to him to file a lawsuit was an unemployed middle-aged man. If he lost the lawsuit, he would definitely not be able to afford the lawyer's fees.
Therefore, even if the amount of compensation for legal fees cannot be reached, Hansis will definitely fight to the end.
And many people in my law firm are being dragged here, and the local labor expenses will be far more than 500 yuan if they are delayed for another half month.
"100 yuan..." Portlem nodded, "Okay, 100 yuan."
Lu Ming took a sip of tea and said, "100 yuan, for the villagers, each household has to share two or three yuan equally. For them, it may be a month's expenses. To say, judging from the direction of this lawsuit, they don't have to pay anything. Money, so you are so expensive, I will pay for it, transfer one hundred yuan from my personal account to the law firm's account." He shook his head: "Hammiles is too poor, otherwise, I would counter-claim that he had caused damage to Luo Shanguo's reputation. The negative impact is that we can recover the cost of our visit to Hanzhou this time."
Portlem could only smile bitterly when he heard this.
Lu Ming thought about it, "Let's go back to the Beef Association. This organization is fatter and juicier. It has monopolized the beef industry in Milton State for decades. It should be interesting."
Portlem smiled helplessly again and said: "I'll go talk to Hanssis." Although the settlement agreement of 100 yuan seemed like sending a beggar away, in fact, thinking about it, it was his own law firm, although it was not big, but Due to the relationship with the boss, many of the lawsuits he takes on are no different from those of big banks. Because of the existence of the strategy (mock court) department, it is obvious that the winning rate of lawyers in the entire law firm is improved.
For Hansis, reaching a settlement of tens or hundreds of dollars should be a common thing.
Portlem left, but Marilyn Han didn't follow, looking like he was hesitating to speak.
Lu Ming looked at her, "Is something wrong?"
"Sir, regarding the Milton State case, I wonder if I will have the honor to continue studying with you." Mary Han asked in a low voice as she gathered her courage.
Lu Ming nodded: "Okay." From the boss's point of view, there is no problem for Han Mary to become a qualified employee in the future. There are many lawyers in her law firm who have less potential than her.
As long as you don't look at her from the perspective of a master, she has some remarkable qualities.
And, to be honest, beautiful lawyers are also a scarce resource and are good for improving the image of a law firm.
My own law firm is about to move to Donghai City. It will expand next. At the very least, it is inevitable that the top ten cities in the empire will gradually have semicolons. Some good seedlings will make them yearn for my law firm in advance. , is not a bad thing.
Therefore, Lu Ming didn't think much and nodded in agreement.
Mary Han was immediately overjoyed and said, "Okay, thank you, sir!" She bowed deeply and walked out, her steps brisk as if she was about to dance.
Lu Ming looked at the gift box on the table, which was a gift for Pan Mila's parents.
While chatting with Pamela's father, Stewart, I heard that Pamela's mother, Evana, found life in the East China Sea boring and wanted to return to her old farm life.
When Stewart talked about this topic, he meant that Evana was not aware of her blessings, and even though she was living a good life now, she wanted to be a farmer.
After all, Stewart opened an art gallery, entered and exited the upper class society, and his life had returned to its previous peak.
Moreover, opening an art museum back then was just a glamorous thing on the surface, but in fact it was getting worse and worse.
Today's art museums have a very good income because they are backed by strong resources and backgrounds. After all, a Huaxia Group purchases art from here when it needs art, which is enough to support several art museums, not to mention the cascading effects.
Therefore, Stewart scoffed at his wife's idea of returning to the farm.
Lu Ming took it to heart. He was going to Milton State to file a lawsuit this time. He called his father-in-law and mother-in-law yesterday to invite his mother-in-law to visit here. If his mother-in-law likes any farm, he can buy it for her.
Of course, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are here. When Pan Mila hears the news, can she not come?
It's also a good time to talk to her about Bisi.
I already have a picture of the situation over there, it depends on how Pan Mira wants to deal with it.
…
In less than an hour, we arrived from Bloem Airport to Bucks, the capital of Milton.
There are many cities in the western state named after animals, such as Raccoon City, Bucks City, etc. Of course, this is a free translation. In the transliteration of Bucks City, it is called Milson.
Bucks is not the most prosperous city in Milton State, but the most central city.
Most of the territories where Westerners immigrated in modern times are like this. The administrative center is usually at the center of the region, but it often does not become the most developed city in the region. In fact, it is not that the administrative center and the economic center are deliberately separated, but that the administrative center city was originally Choosing it in a central area was very important in an era when transportation was underdeveloped. Later, relocation of administrative agencies in the capital was a major project that could not be decided by the administrative agencies. It could not be moved without the approval of the parliament.
However, it is an area that has become a traditional gathering area for Westerners hundreds of years ago. It is normal for the economic center and administrative center to be combined.
By the standards of previous lives, Bucks City was a small town with a population of more than 100,000 people.
However, the administrative area is well-equipped with a small airport for fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters to land.
Douglas's farm is not far from Bucks.
The manor is very large, with thousands of acres of land, and vast areas of wheat and corn areas, which can be described as distinct.
A pasture with thousands of cattle is adjacent to the farmland area.
Moreover, today's farmland is similar to the American farm in the past, and it is already semi-mechanized.
Even if there is no tractor head to power soil plowing and seeding, there are still multiple horses pulling the disc soil loosening and seeding machine back and forth in the farmland.
Along the way, watching this scene, Lu Ming sighed inwardly. Although mechanized agricultural production had become the norm in the plains of his motherland in his own time, at the same time, the gap could not be measured.
Today, the gap between the four northern provinces and the five southern provinces and the farmers in Milton State is probably similar.
Uncle Douglas was a tall, majestic man with a red neck. It looked like he had been doing farm work a lot in his prime.
Although he is about the same age as Li Guan, at first glance, Uncle Douglas looks like a strong man with a beer belly.
He enthusiastically led Lu Ming and his party into his manor. The huge windmill, wooden buildings, and the river in the distance, everything seemed leisurely and beautiful.
